Montenegro is waiting for a territorial dispute with Croatia?

The head of the Foreign Ministry of Montenegro said that Croatia unreasonably claims the right to explore hydrocarbon deposits on the Prevlaka peninsula. The issue will be resolved in the international Hague court. The reason for the dispute was a tender for the exploration of oil and gas sources, announced by Croatia on a peninsula that is in the status of a temporary territory. This action, Luksic noted, is contrary to the Convention on the Law of the Sea. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Montenegro sent a statement to the UN in connection with this event with the demand to monitor compliance with the Convention. Igor Luksic also stated that Montenegro intends to determine the ownership of Prevlaka in The Hague.

Currently, Prevlaka temporarily belongs to Croatia, but the agreement on the definition of the demarcation line is still at the project stage. But the big plans for this territory are at once three states of the Adriatic coast: Montenegro, Albania and Croatia. The drilling of the shelves is planned just on one of the disputed border zones.
